DCTIGERFAN yes we do have some young ones. LA went to state starting 5 underclassman and only 12 total players. All of LA deserves credit, Pennycuff finished the season with 254 strikeouts on the season. That is quite impressive too, hopefully she will help take us back to the state next year as well! She and Cap have competed all year this year. I figure will we will see more of the same next year as well. As far as Bond intimidating umps, I don't know if that is the correct term but he definitely holds the influence. It has been that way since I have been watching them play for years. Not to mention, what are the odds you have the same 3 umpires for the district tourney finals and region tourney finals with the same ump behind the plate? Oh and both times we played Dekalb at Dekalb. Coincidence?
